Physics Modeling with Excel: Motion and Propulsion

Do you struggle to visualize abstract physics concepts, or wish you could see how equations translate into real-world motion? This course offers a practical approach to understanding classical mechanics by building interactive models. By the end of this course, you will be able to set up, run, and interpret physics simulations using Excel, transforming theoretical knowledge into hands-on analytical skills. What you'll learn: Understand foundational physics concepts including center of mass, linear momentum, and collision types. Apply Excel formulas and functions to perform complex numerical calculations for physics problems. Build step-by-step simulations for dynamic systems like projectile motion, collisions, and rocket propulsion. Visualize simulation results effectively using various Excel chart types to interpret physical phenomena. Utilize modern Excel features, such as Dynamic Arrays, to streamline data processing in your models. Practice analytical problem-solving by constructing and refining your own physics models in Excel. The course begins with the essential Excel tools and physics definitions, then progressively guides you through constructing and analyzing increasingly complex physics models and simulations. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience in physics modeling or advanced Excel functions. No prerequisites are required.
